Update: Emerging from the bunker...

I think many people will agree, that life has been a crazy hot mess these last few years. A global pandemic, supply chain issues, murder hornets, Suez Canal getting corked by the Ever Given, Bitcoin exploding, and countless other oddities that make me feel bad for school children studying history 50 years from now, trying to figure out what in the actual <insert choice word> happened in 2020/2021. It's been a minute since my last post but I am going to make regular posts a priority. However, as I write these musings for my own enjoyment and documentation purposes, my readership is undoubtedly limited to my mother. 

I have recently moved house and decided to dedicate a room in my basement for "home brewery space". I have also procured a permanent 15-gallon EHERMS brew setup from Spike Brewing and Electric Brew Supply which will live in that space. I will go into the finer points of the system in a later post.

I would be remiss if I did not state clearly and categorically that a system such as this is absolutely NOT required to make great beer at home. However, if you are a poor unfortunate soul who is both a gear junkie and amused by shiny things like myself...it was an inevitable caving of will and wallet.  

With all that out of the way, let's get back to it!

Cheers,

Graham
